The landing of my first tandem skydive somehow got botched. I ended up with a dislocated and broken ankle that required surgery. I was taken away from Skydive Phoenix in an ambulance. It has been more than 3 months since this happened and I have not heard one word from them. I understand that there is concern about liability and they probably don't want to look like they could be admitting liability in case of a lawsuit, but I think it would be plain old human decency to check on your client when something like this happens. First, check to make sure they're okay and show some concern. Second, ask what happened. You do not have to admit any kind of liability to investigate the incident and maybe learn something that will prevent similar accidents from happening in the future. As far as the jump itself, it was fun for awhile, but the instructor kept spinning us around, which was making me nauseous. I told him it was making me uncomfortable and he showed me how to control the parachute so the spinning would stop. Then he did it again. I was able to stop the spinning on my own this time, but not before it made me even more nauseous. Then he did it again! By this time, I was miserable and thought I might vomit. (At least 4 other people in my group actually DID vomit, one while in the air!) Ha--I never did throw up but I would have preferred vomiting to the injury I suffered, which, as I said, resulted in surgery (I now have hardware in my ankle), followed by 2 months of non-weightbearing, and 3 months out of work, and who knows how long before I can return to my regular recreational activities. Skydiving is risky and you literally sign your life away before you make the jump. I accepted the risk and am not bitter about the injury, but I am really disappointed that they didn't care enough to follow up and see how I was doing, or to take the opportunity to learn from the experience. Just because accidents may be rare doesn't mean that you don't dissect them when they do happen and try to make the experience even safer and more enjoyable for future clients.
